Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-properties-values-api] Shorthand for custom property declaration (#7523) from Valtteri Laitinen via GitHub on 2025-12-12 (public-css-archive@w3.org from December 2025)

We could simplify the syntax for defining prefixes or suffixes &lsqb;https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7523#issuecomment-3618758105&rsqb; by requiring `*` and removing the `inherits: prefix | suffix` declaration:

```css
@property --color-* {
  syntax: <color>;
  initial-value: currentcolor;
  inherits: true;
}
@property *-color {
  syntax: <color>;
  initial-value: currentcolor;
  inherits: true;
}
```

I think that would remove confusion from the syntax.
